Chapter 221 Morels

Moreover, when they were looking for husbands for their daughters, they picked those with good conditions but not good character. After such a mixture of genes, the children might inherit the evil of both sides.

If they knew what Huo Beixi did and that she was very rich, they would flock to her and ask Huo Beixi to help them support them!
The daughter of Grandpa Huo and Grandma Huo is of the same generation as his father, so Huo Beixi has to call her aunt. Then the children of his aunt are of the same generation as him, and are his brothers and sisters, but they are cousins ​​and are all relatives. Once this gets entangled, it is really difficult to deal with.

After all, my home and work are here. It is impossible for me to abandon all this and hide away because of them, right?
So the best way is to keep it from them.

After hearing this, Grandpa Huo and Grandma Huo nodded. They turned around and left without saying anything. What else could they say? Huo Beixi had already sold everything to Hua Xiali, an outsider, and there was no reason for them to take it back.

Moreover, if they want to get it back, they have to pay ten times the compensation. Where can they afford that?
Grandpa Huo and Grandma Huo had been gone for a while before Hua Xiali went to her fourth uncle's house, because she didn't want to meet Grandpa Huo and Grandma Huo halfway, as they were not Huo Beixi's direct relatives.

Hua Xiali went to the bamboo forest on the mountain to look for his fourth uncle and aunt. He came to the place where they were picking bamboo shoots, found a flat place to sit down, and caught a glimpse of some familiar wild mushrooms at his feet.

Hua Xiali was so surprised that he quickly picked one to study it. The surface of this mushroom was uneven, shaped like a sheep's stomach, so it was definitely a morel.

The morel is a world-renowned rare edible and medicinal mushroom, which has many benefits to the human body. Hua Xiali had never expected that their Guizhen City also has morels and bamboo fungi, two very famous wild mushrooms. It's just that people here are not so keen on mushrooms, so no one pays attention to or understands them.

However, it may be because information was not circulated in this era and people did not know that these mushrooms were edible. It was not until the information explosion in the future that everyone knew about it and people started eating these things!

In short, some things that were very popular in the previous life are not eaten by many people now, such as fish. There are fish wherever there is water in the countryside. There are so many of them that you can just use a ladle to scoop them up. However, Hua Xiali rarely sees anyone going out to catch fish to eat.

There are also things like snails and small land snails. In the past, only children would pick them up for fun. When adults were working in the rice fields, the big snails were visible to the naked eye and could be picked up at will, but I never saw anyone picking snails to take home to eat.

There are many people in the village, but no one is doing the work.

Hua Xiali was so happy when he found the morels that he took out a black knife the size of a pencil from the space and picked a few morels at his feet.

Then he took the basket and went to other places to look for morels.

The things that she couldn't afford to eat in her previous life are now everywhere, so she naturally can't let herself miss them. She picked morels in April and bamboo fungi in June.

However, her belly should have grown bigger by then, and if it was inconvenient to pick bamboo fungus, she might have to miss this year's bamboo fungus.

Hua Xiali knew that if she stayed at her fourth uncle's house for too long, Huo Beixi might come to pick her up on a motorcycle. Besides, she also had to review, so she always stayed at her fourth uncle's house for one night and went back at noon the next day. Because she had to pick morels in the morning, she would stay at home for one night and go back the next morning so that she could pick morels again.

Morels have high nutritional value and are also very valuable, but the picking period is not long. They can only be picked in April and May every spring, so she wanted to take advantage of this period to pick more morels, otherwise she would have to wait until autumn. This autumn, she definitely won't be able to pick them.

If there wasn't another Huo Beixi at home, she would have wanted to live in her fourth uncle's house until there were no morels left, but now she was no longer alone, so she still had to care about the other person's feelings. In terms of family, she was no longer short of money, and there were so many employees helping her make money, so her focus now was on family.

That afternoon, Hua Xiali went to the bamboo forest at the river bend, took the bamboo shoots that Lu Xiaozhi had placed at the agreed place into the space, put the money down, and then went to pick a basket of the freshest bamboo shoots and carried them back.

Huo Beixi saw Hua Xiali coming back, took the basket from her, and asked curiously, "Are you picking bamboo shoots to feed the pigs?"

Hua Xiali was a little surprised, "Don't you know that bamboo shoots are edible?"

"Can bamboo shoots be eaten?" Huo Beixi shook his head, "I've never eaten them."

"Not only are bamboo shoots edible, they taste great!" Hua Xiali said with a smile. Anyway, she really liked eating bamboo shoots, but she only found out that bamboo shoots were edible more than ten years later in her previous life when she went to the city to accompany her children to school and did odd jobs. She learned several ways to cook bamboo shoots, and later in the spring she went to the river bend to pick bamboo shoots herself.

After all, bamboo shoots are quite expensive, and she really can't bear to spend money to buy them!

In her previous life, she never spent a penny on fish, eels, snails and other things. She caught them all by herself when she returned to the village. They were obviously available in the village for free, so why waste money to buy them?

Moreover, she is a good cook. Both children liked the food she made in her previous life.

Hua Xiali sat in the yard, peeled the bamboo shoots with a knife, then rolled them up in his hands, and soon peeled out the fresh and tender bamboo shoots.

"Wife, you go and take a rest, I'll peel it. You can teach me how to do it later." Huo Beixi walked over, squatted in front of Hua Xiali, reached out and took a bamboo shoot, and started peeling it leaf by leaf.

Hua Xiali was a little amused. "That's not the way you peel it. If you peel it that way, you won't be able to finish a basket even if you peel it until tomorrow morning."

"Just watch carefully and do it like I do." Hua Xiali taught Huo Beixi a lesson and then handed the knife to him. Huo Beixi did as Hua Xiali taught him. As a result, with one cut, half of the bamboo shoots were cut off, which made it more difficult to peel the shell.

Huo Beixi felt helpless, put down the knife, and said, "I'd better use the dumbest way. I just need to be faster."

If Huo Beixi had to peel the whole basket of vegetables, he probably wouldn't be able to eat tonight, so Hua Xiali didn't take a break and the two of them peeled the vegetables together.

Soon the whole basket of bamboo shoots was peeled, and only about one third of the bamboo shoots were left.

"Let's go, take the bamboo shoots to the kitchen, I'll teach you how to blanch them." Hua Xiali said, and stood up. As a result, he suddenly felt dizzy. Huo Beixi hurriedly reached out to support Hua Xiali and asked worriedly, "Wife, what's wrong with you?"
